The attention of the Statesman is respectfully invited to the Republican resolution! of Minnesota for one of the latest and best specimens of square talk about the Salary Grab.' A recent Democratic convention at Beaver, Pa., passed over the Salary Grab in solemn silence. Reason, their Con gressman, McClelland, was a Grabber, and they disliked to hurt his feelings. ' Lumber being plenty in Michigan Detroit is going to lay more wooden pave ments. The New York Commissioner of Public Works advises their entire aban donment, and recommends the use of stone as a substitute. The bouI of Mac Adam still goes marching on. Ohio is ahead again, as usual. : A trial of reapers on exhibition at the Vienna Exposition, took place at Pesth on the 4th of July, and resulted in the triumph of an Ohio machine, which will be award ed, we are told, the first State prize of a grand gold medal and fifty ducats, as a reaper, and a committee prise of a grand gold medal and forty ducats as a mower. It may relieve the daily distress of the Dispatch to observe a report which we find recorded in the New York Tribune, another independent paper of Democratic proclivities, that the President is in favor of increasing the Presidential term of office to six years, and making the President ineligible to re-election. Having finished the conquest of Khiva, the Russian army, we now hear, will undertake the subjection of the Turcoman tribes, who are the modern Parthians of the far East. These nomads now afford the only considerable obstacle to absolute Russian dominion in Turkestan, and their subjugation will practically extend the territories of the Oar to the feet of the Himalayas and the borders of British In dia. More and more it becomes evident that the question of the near future in European politics is the Eastern question. Tn salary of the reigning' Oar ia $8,250,000 annually, or $25,000 a day. Francis Joseph, of Austria, receives $4,000,000, or $12,312 daily, me em peror of Germany is paid ,tw,uuv a vear. or $S2U daily. The salary of Vic tor Emmanuel is $1,400,000, and that of Queen Victoria $1,200,000. A capable railroad president can geti,uuu a year, and there are a good many business men in the United State to which twice that amount would be no object. From these facts General Banks, the most prominent Liberal in the jast House of Representaives, reasoned that a salary of $50,000 for the President of the Unittd States was not too much, and he accordingly introduced a retolu- tion to increase the pay of the President to that sum. This was long before any proposition was made to increase the sala-riesof members of Congress, and independently of any such proposition. We know of no prominent Liberal paper which dissents from the conclusions of General Banks, the Liberal leader, or which squarely affirms that a salary of $50,0 0 for the President iB excessive. We understand the Cincinnati Commercial, for instance, to assert just the opposite of this last, and to go further and say that the salaries of Congressmen even, ought not to Ue reduced to their former standard. But it is the daily and weekly labor of the entire Opposition presB to con fuse in the public mind the increase of the Presidential salary prospectively with the increase of Congressional sala- ries retrospectively, and to make the two things appear to be morally and legally the same. But they are both morally and lenally different. The President was not authorized to take back pay; Congressmen ... . i .t i were. The proposition 10 iiicrenj wo ary of the President first came from the Liberal aide : that to make the salaries of Congressmen retroactive was fathered alike by Dan. Voorhees and Ben Butler. It was as much Democratic and Liberal as Republican. In the party sense it was neither, unless more Democratic than Republican, for a larger proportion of Democrats voted for it than of Republicans. But the point we make is, that while the salary of Congressmen was made retroactive, that of the President was not; that increasing pay for services already rendered is one thing, and increasing the rate at which services to be rendered shall be paid for is quite another thing, and that these distinctions should be drawn clearly in the public mind. BY TELEGRAPH 10 THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL. CROP REPORTS. July Agricultural Beporta or tbe - Condition of Crap. WashingtoS. July 28. The July ag ricultural report just sent to press represents improvement in winter wheat, but a decline in the prospects of spring wheat, on account of unseasonable weather in some quarters, and insect enemies in others. The average in corn is increased in West Virginia and Minnesota, and decreased in all other States, except Florida and Ar kansas, where It remains the tame as last year. Corn planting everywhere was re tardea by the weatner, ana in many cases corn was several times replanted. There is unusual complaint of defective seed made in all parts of the country. The condition of cotton was previously liven. Reports up to July 1st indicate that the crop will reach 89 5 percent, of the average, not including v lrginia, wnere its culture is yet mainly experimental. The nrosDective yield of oats declined1 during June in New England and Middle and Northwestern states, except in wis-consin, where it was enhanced. In all the Gulf States, except Missis. sIdd!. winter rve im Droved : in Rhode Is land, Connecticut, mew Jersey, Maryiana, North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, it remained stationary; in Georgia it de clined, and in all other States. Boring rye was below the average in an States but five, the minimum being found in California, and the maximum in jMe- braska. Winter barley generally declined in the Month and West, where Heavy rains pre vailed. The grass crop is generally improved in New England and Middle States ; however they were greatly shortened by drouth. The late winter told disastrously upon the fruit crop. The injury to apple trees was more extensive than was apparent at the last report. Vast numbers of peach trees are killed. The condition of grapes ranged from 61 in California to 127 in Nebraska, 100 representing the average. The average in potatoes remained the Bame as laBt year, or increased In twenty-two States and decreased in all others. The Colorado beetle has extended its rav ages eastward, being reported for the first time in apveral counties bf New York. It was still devastating in the West, but farmers had learned in many counties how to destroy it effectually. The maximum condition of the crop (111) waB found in Georgia, and mintimum (56) in Delaware. PITTSBURG. SEW YORK. The war indemnity which France agreed to pay Germany, under treaty of March, 1871, amounted in our money to about $940,000,000. But $100,000,000 of this immense sum remains unpaid, and of that remainder one half will be paid on the 5th of August, and one half on the 5th of September next. The promptness with which this great war debt has been provided for by the new French Govern merit, in spite of the disastrous results ot the struggle with Prussia, and the embarrassing effect of civil war, actual or threatened, constitutes one of the greatest financial achievements of any ago or country. The New York Times reports that the Atlantic and Great Western Railway company has just negotiated a loan in London of $7,600,000, with which the company intends to secure the controlling interest in the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railway, the stock of that corporation being already in the hands of friends of tho Atlantic and Great West em, ready to be passed into its possession as soon as tho requisite money and Becuri-ty shall be forthcoming. James Mellon- ry, the person by whom the loan has been effected, is expected to return to thiscoun- try in September next, for the further prosecution of his plans. The Constitutional Convention reas- sembles at three p. m. to-day, pursuant to adjournment on last Friday. It is still engaged in committee of the Whole on the reported judicial article, as it has been for more than two weeks past, and will probably be for a week or more to come. The subject matter of discussion nt pres ent is, the number of Common Pleas dis tricts and Judges. The reported article divides the State into twelve such districts with three Judges in each, except the Hamilton county district, which is to have five judges, making thirtyeight in all. An earnest effort was made in committee to have a Common Pleas Judge elected in each county, with Probate juris diction. That failing, it was next pro posed to divide the State into fifty Com mon Pleas districts and elect fifty Judges. The pending proposition is to have forty-five such districts, with fifty Common Pleas Judges in the aggregate. When the unfortunate Collins line of ocean steamships was discontinued, about fifteen years ago, there was an end of trans-Atlantic commerce by steam-vessels owned or built in the United States. Of nearly one hundred and fifty'iron .steamships now running to and from the port of New York, not more than twelve or fifteen are owned by Americans, and not one crosses the ocean. The few our people do control are vessels of an inferior grade running to South American and West Indian ports. Our European mails are carried in foreign bottoms, and tho fifty or sixty thousand Old World tourists who depart from our shores every summer, step under a foreign flag the moment they embark from an American port. But of this humiliating state of affairs, which has existed so long as to seem almost with out remedy, there is at last, thanks to Philadelphia capital and enterprise, one imnnriunt Qualification to be made. I he Bhip-yards of the Delaware have recently set afloat two first-class iron steamships, the pioneers of a line between Philadelphia and Liverpool, exclusively owned and controlled by a Philadelphia compa ny. The first of these vessels has already made her second trip across the ocean, and is appropriately named the Pennsylvania. The second has just had her trial trip, of which an enthusiastic account is given in the Philadelphia papers, and which proved her to be the superior in speed to one of the crack .vessels of the Williams and Guion line, which tried unavaillngly to keep up with her. This fine vessel, we observe with some pride, has been named the Ohio, and is said to be among ocean steamers what her namesake is among States, that is to say, unsurpassed. If the fleet to which she belongs shall prove, as we hope, to be the pioneer in a general revival of iron-steamship building in America, Ohio, already highly complimented, will reap still greater honor from this auspicious christening- Possessing iron twenty per cent, stronger than that of England, and mechanics whose Bkill in ship-building has never been excelled, there is no sufficient reason why this country should not recover at least mart of the carrying trade for which we are now annually paying seventy mil lione to foreign bottoms, or why the American flag should not float over the finest steamships on the ocean. Aquatic Trials and Tribulation. PiTTsmmo, June 28. Coulter and Scharff'B friends met to night to select a referee. The Coulter party express dissatisfaction with the course selected by the Scharlf party. The latter yielded so as to ask to decide the affair by the toss of a penny. This was no go. The Coulter crowd wanted the course changed, and re fused to row entirely. Ihe achartt people, unless Coulter changes his mind, intend claiming tbe money. There are no prospects of agreeing. Tbe selection of the course legally belongs to Scharff, and the question was foreign to the object of the meeting. The general impression seems to be that Coulter is afraid of being beaten, and that he is not in good trim for the race. In the Snyder and Wright contest the decision was postponed from Saturday. The referees to-day awaraea me purse vo Todd Wright on account of a foul. ebeioht reductions. New Yobk. July 28. The managers of the Trunk line to the West have made the following reductions in freight charg es on first class merchandise, which in cludes dry goods, boots and shoes, clothing, etc.: From New York to Chicago, per cwt., 75 cents, formerly $1; Cleveland 41 cents, formerly 65 cents: Cincinnati 70, formerly Vi cents; Ht. Liouu vi cents, lor-merly $1.28; Louisville 80 cents, formerly $1.2; Memphis $1.3o, formerly $1.62. The following are the rates irom LaKe Erie noints Westward: To Cleveland, To ledo and Detroit 45 cents; to Chicago Milwaukee and Green Hay 61 cents. . TRIAL OP BEAFEBS AND MOWERS. "rim Vienna correspondent of the Trib une says the trial of mower and reapers -hint, tnnk nlace on the 9th inst. was a onmnlsiB triii muh for the Americans. At the English and French k..but nut. and there were only four European machines on the ground. Four-tun American reapers and fifteen Ameri can mowers competed. AH the American maohinery did their work well except n. -hih hmka down at the start. through no fault of the machine, but through the Btupidity of the driver. The arrangements were smpiuir wwun Thoro an nn nrocramme and no system Most of the teams were unused to such work, and gave a great deal ol trouuie. immensely uowerful stallions, and others wretched, raw-boned beasts that would scarcely pull the machines, Then the grain differed greatly in itiffi-ivnt Darts of the field, so the trial with the conditions so unequal was no test so far as speed was concerned. Dr. Warder, who was entitled to sit as one of the jurors, declined, the exhibitors protesting against him on the ground that he was interested in one of the machines. It is reported that all the American mowers and reapers mat took part in the trial will get roeda s, for nrneress and others for merit. The awards will not be made till next month. SUIT TO RECOVER. A. Lane, formerly counsel of the Erie Railroad company, has been sued in the a . rn..t hir Mm Mnrv C3. Tennov Goodridge, administratrix of Ezra K. Goodridge, for an accounting. The cose came up this morning before Judge Pratt, on motion to appoint a receiver.

And to we might go on, but forbear, only adding that while prominent Democrats differ so materially as to whether their party ia fit to live, impartial observers cannot be blamed for doubling whether it ia fit to control the government.

It proved to be a large conical ball fired fmm a cartridge Distol or gun. After the examination of a number of witnesses, including Mrs. Moore.wife of the deceased, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased came to his death from a pistol shot, fired by Joseph Hanson, nephew of Mrs. Moore, who was sleeping in the noose, and be was instigated thereto by Mrs. Moore.

The attention of the Statesman is respectfully invited to the Republican resolution! of Minnesota for one of the latest and best specimens of square talk about the Salary Grab.' A recent Democratic convention at Beaver, Pa., passed over the Salary Grab in solemn silence. Reason, their Con gressman, McClelland, was a Grabber, and they disliked to hurt his feelings. ' Lumber being plenty in Michigan Detroit is going to lay more wooden pave ments. The New York Commissioner of Public Works advises their entire aban donment, and recommends the use of stone as a substitute. The bouI of Mac Adam still goes marching on. Ohio is ahead again, as usual. : A trial of reapers on exhibition at the Vienna Exposition, took place at Pesth on the 4th of July, and resulted in the triumph of an Ohio machine, which will be award ed, we are told, the first State prize of a grand gold medal and fifty ducats, as a reaper, and a committee prise of a grand gold medal and forty ducats as a mower. It may relieve the daily distress of the Dispatch to observe a report which we find recorded in the New York Tribune, another independent paper of Democratic proclivities, that the President is in favor of increasing the Presidential term of office to six years, and making the President ineligible to re-election. Having finished the conquest of Khiva, the Russian army, we now hear, will undertake the subjection of the Turcoman tribes, who are the modern Parthians of the far East. These nomads now afford the only considerable obstacle to absolute Russian dominion in Turkestan, and their subjugation will practically extend the territories of the Oar to the feet of the Himalayas and the borders of British In dia. More and more it becomes evident that the question of the near future in European politics is the Eastern question. Tn salary of the reigning' Oar ia $8,250,000 annually, or $25,000 a day. Francis Joseph, of Austria, receives $4,000,000, or $12,312 daily, me em peror of Germany is paid ,tw,uuv a vear. or $S2U daily. The salary of Vic tor Emmanuel is $1,400,000, and that of Queen Victoria $1,200,000. A capable railroad president can geti,uuu a year, and there are a good many business men in the United State to which twice that amount would be no object. From these facts General Banks, the most prominent Liberal in the jast House of Representaives, reasoned that a salary of $50,000 for the President of the Unittd States was not too much, and he accordingly introduced a retolu- tion to increase the pay of the President to that sum. This was long before any proposition was made to increase the sala-riesof members of Congress, and independently of any such proposition. We know of no prominent Liberal paper which dissents from the conclusions of General Banks, the Liberal leader, or which squarely affirms that a salary of $50,0 0 for the President iB excessive. We understand the Cincinnati Commercial, for instance, to assert just the opposite of this last, and to go further and say that the salaries of Congressmen even, ought not to Ue reduced to their former standard. But it is the daily and weekly labor of the entire Opposition presB to con fuse in the public mind the increase of the Presidential salary prospectively with the increase of Congressional sala- ries retrospectively, and to make the two things appear to be morally and legally the same. But they are both morally and lenally different. The President was not authorized to take back pay; Congressmen ... . i .t i were. The proposition 10 iiicrenj wo ary of the President first came from the Liberal aide : that to make the salaries of Congressmen retroactive was fathered alike by Dan. Voorhees and Ben Butler. It was as much Democratic and Liberal as Republican. In the party sense it was neither, unless more Democratic than Republican, for a larger proportion of Democrats voted for it than of Republicans. But the point we make is, that while the salary of Congressmen was made retroactive, that of the President was not; that increasing pay for services already rendered is one thing, and increasing the rate at which services to be rendered shall be paid for is quite another thing, and that these distinctions should be drawn clearly in the public mind. BY TELEGRAPH 10 THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL. CROP REPORTS. July Agricultural Beporta or tbe - Condition of Crap. WashingtoS. July 28. The July ag ricultural report just sent to press represents improvement in winter wheat, but a decline in the prospects of spring wheat, on account of unseasonable weather in some quarters, and insect enemies in others. The average in corn is increased in West Virginia and Minnesota, and decreased in all other States, except Florida and Ar kansas, where It remains the tame as last year. Corn planting everywhere was re tardea by the weatner, ana in many cases corn was several times replanted. There is unusual complaint of defective seed made in all parts of the country. The condition of cotton was previously liven. Reports up to July 1st indicate that the crop will reach 89 5 percent, of the average, not including v lrginia, wnere its culture is yet mainly experimental. The nrosDective yield of oats declined1 during June in New England and Middle and Northwestern states, except in wis-consin, where it was enhanced. In all the Gulf States, except Missis. sIdd!. winter rve im Droved : in Rhode Is land, Connecticut, mew Jersey, Maryiana, North Carolina, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and Iowa, it remained stationary; in Georgia it de clined, and in all other States. Boring rye was below the average in an States but five, the minimum being found in California, and the maximum in jMe- braska. Winter barley generally declined in the Month and West, where Heavy rains pre vailed. The grass crop is generally improved in New England and Middle States ; however they were greatly shortened by drouth. The late winter told disastrously upon the fruit crop. The injury to apple trees was more extensive than was apparent at the last report. Vast numbers of peach trees are killed. The condition of grapes ranged from 61 in California to 127 in Nebraska, 100 representing the average. The average in potatoes remained the Bame as laBt year, or increased In twenty-two States and decreased in all others. The Colorado beetle has extended its rav ages eastward, being reported for the first time in apveral counties bf New York. It was still devastating in the West, but farmers had learned in many counties how to destroy it effectually. The maximum condition of the crop (111) waB found in Georgia, and mintimum (56) in Delaware. PITTSBURG. SEW YORK. The war indemnity which France agreed to pay Germany, under treaty of March, 1871, amounted in our money to about $940,000,000. But $100,000,000 of this immense sum remains unpaid, and of that remainder one half will be paid on the 5th of August, and one half on the 5th of September next. The promptness with which this great war debt has been provided for by the new French Govern merit, in spite of the disastrous results ot the struggle with Prussia, and the embarrassing effect of civil war, actual or threatened, constitutes one of the greatest financial achievements of any ago or country. The New York Times reports that the Atlantic and Great Western Railway company has just negotiated a loan in London of $7,600,000, with which the company intends to secure the controlling interest in the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis railway, the stock of that corporation being already in the hands of friends of tho Atlantic and Great West em, ready to be passed into its possession as soon as tho requisite money and Becuri-ty shall be forthcoming. James Mellon- ry, the person by whom the loan has been effected, is expected to return to thiscoun- try in September next, for the further prosecution of his plans. The Constitutional Convention reas- sembles at three p. m. to-day, pursuant to adjournment on last Friday. It is still engaged in committee of the Whole on the reported judicial article, as it has been for more than two weeks past, and will probably be for a week or more to come. The subject matter of discussion nt pres ent is, the number of Common Pleas dis tricts and Judges. The reported article divides the State into twelve such districts with three Judges in each, except the Hamilton county district, which is to have five judges, making thirtyeight in all. An earnest effort was made in committee to have a Common Pleas Judge elected in each county, with Probate juris diction. That failing, it was next pro posed to divide the State into fifty Com mon Pleas districts and elect fifty Judges. The pending proposition is to have forty-five such districts, with fifty Common Pleas Judges in the aggregate. When the unfortunate Collins line of ocean steamships was discontinued, about fifteen years ago, there was an end of trans-Atlantic commerce by steam-vessels owned or built in the United States. Of nearly one hundred and fifty'iron .steamships now running to and from the port of New York, not more than twelve or fifteen are owned by Americans, and not one crosses the ocean. The few our people do control are vessels of an inferior grade running to South American and West Indian ports. Our European mails are carried in foreign bottoms, and tho fifty or sixty thousand Old World tourists who depart from our shores every summer, step under a foreign flag the moment they embark from an American port. But of this humiliating state of affairs, which has existed so long as to seem almost with out remedy, there is at last, thanks to Philadelphia capital and enterprise, one imnnriunt Qualification to be made. I he Bhip-yards of the Delaware have recently set afloat two first-class iron steamships, the pioneers of a line between Philadelphia and Liverpool, exclusively owned and controlled by a Philadelphia compa ny. The first of these vessels has already made her second trip across the ocean, and is appropriately named the Pennsylvania. The second has just had her trial trip, of which an enthusiastic account is given in the Philadelphia papers, and which proved her to be the superior in speed to one of the crack .vessels of the Williams and Guion line, which tried unavaillngly to keep up with her. This fine vessel, we observe with some pride, has been named the Ohio, and is said to be among ocean steamers what her namesake is among States, that is to say, unsurpassed. If the fleet to which she belongs shall prove, as we hope, to be the pioneer in a general revival of iron-steamship building in America, Ohio, already highly complimented, will reap still greater honor from this auspicious christening- Possessing iron twenty per cent, stronger than that of England, and mechanics whose Bkill in ship-building has never been excelled, there is no sufficient reason why this country should not recover at least mart of the carrying trade for which we are now annually paying seventy mil lione to foreign bottoms, or why the American flag should not float over the finest steamships on the ocean. Aquatic Trials and Tribulation. PiTTsmmo, June 28. Coulter and Scharff'B friends met to night to select a referee. The Coulter party express dissatisfaction with the course selected by the Scharlf party. The latter yielded so as to ask to decide the affair by the toss of a penny. This was no go. The Coulter crowd wanted the course changed, and re fused to row entirely. Ihe achartt people, unless Coulter changes his mind, intend claiming tbe money. There are no prospects of agreeing. Tbe selection of the course legally belongs to Scharff, and the question was foreign to the object of the meeting. The general impression seems to be that Coulter is afraid of being beaten, and that he is not in good trim for the race. In the Snyder and Wright contest the decision was postponed from Saturday. The referees to-day awaraea me purse vo Todd Wright on account of a foul. ebeioht reductions. New Yobk. July 28.

The following are the rates irom LaKe Erie noints Westward: To Cleveland, To ledo and Detroit 45 cents; to Chicago Milwaukee and Green Hay 61 cents. . TRIAL OP BEAFEBS AND MOWERS. "rim Vienna correspondent of the Trib une says the trial of mower and reapers -hint, tnnk nlace on the 9th inst. was a onmnlsiB triii muh for the Americans. At the English and French k..but nut. and there were only four European machines on the ground. Four-tun American reapers and fifteen Ameri can mowers competed. AH the American maohinery did their work well except n. -hih hmka down at the start. through no fault of the machine, but through the Btupidity of the driver. The arrangements were smpiuir wwun Thoro an nn nrocramme and no system Most of the teams were unused to such work, and gave a great deal ol trouuie. immensely uowerful stallions, and others wretched, raw-boned beasts that would scarcely pull the machines, Then the grain differed greatly in itiffi-ivnt Darts of the field, so the trial with the conditions so unequal was no test so far as speed was concerned. Dr. Warder, who was entitled to sit as one of the jurors, declined, the exhibitors protesting against him on the ground that he was interested in one of the machines. It is reported that all the American mowers and reapers mat took part in the trial will get roeda s, for nrneress and others for merit. The awards will not be made till next month. SUIT TO RECOVER. A. Lane, formerly counsel of the Erie Railroad company, has been sued in the a . rn..t hir Mm Mnrv C3. Tennov Goodridge, administratrix of Ezra K. Goodridge, for an accounting.
